Dear,

It's time like these that I miss you the most. Your wisdom was the greatest. You always could tell me what you would do when faced with a problem. I believe our ancestors continue to pray for us. Your son is ill and needs your prayers. Please pray for our family. Love to everyone.

Grandma, I am a bit tardy on my tribute but you should know I think of you often. I'm a big believer in celebrating people everyday so each day should be treated as a loved ones birthday. Be sweet as you use to always tell me! I love you!

Happy Heavenly Birthday to my favorite Aunt, the best Aunt in the world. I miss every loving, patient moment you gave to me.  I love you so much!

Happy Heavenly Birthday Dear! When I see a star twinkling at night, I say it is you, Baby, Modear, Daddy Trill and all the family looking out of their windows at us down here on earth. Keep us in your prayers. We miss you!
Love,
Alexis

Dear, I cannot believe you have been gone for eight years. It seems like just yesterday that you went home to be with the Lord. We often recall the things you taught us and remember what you would tell us to remember. I hope you are sitting on that heavenly porch and having a great time. There are no insects there so I know you are enjoying the outside. I miss you and Robert, too. Your memory will remain with me as long as I live. Love, your daughter Alexis

Happy Heavenly Birthday to my favorite auntie. I was out shopping last week and lost my prescription eyeglasses. My mind quickly went back to all the times you were with me while shopping being so helpful. Always keeping up with my keys, packages and even my purse. I truly miss you!!! ❤️❤️❤️

Happy Heavenly Birthday Dear! I know your big 93 was yesterday, but just one week after Mother's Day and you have your birthday! I miss you everyday. Thoughts of your needing three bananas or some orange juice for your potassium; who would ever think those things now mean so much. Robert said the other day "tie your shoes up Robert" because you would say if he didn't, he would fall. Your other "son" misses you as much as I do.

Rest peacefully in heaven!
Love, Alexis and Robert

Grandma,
Happy Birthday!!! Although I can't call you and sing happy birthday, you were definitely on my heart today! I love you always.
P.S.: I made one of your favorites today: turkey and dressing. :) Happy birthday!

Dear,
So much has been going on the last seven years but I know you already know. We think of you everyday and what a great mother you were. We can only hope that we live up to your standards. Your great-grands are big boys now. EJ will be getting ready for college soon. We love you and everyone else in heaven with you. Love, Alexis

A day does not go by that we don't remember some words of wisdom from you or share a moment of laughter about something you did. We truly miss you for your sharing and caring about everyone. We know you are watching over us. Please keep us in your prayers.

Love you forever! Alexis and Robert

Gee, how the time really files. I miss you so much. You were so understanding and caring. In fact, you were my favorite aunt, always there whenever I needed you, no matter what time of day. I will always remember
you. Your other child, Julia.

Dear, I baked a pound cake early this morning. I can imagine only in my heart that it was for you. You would always say that you didn't like it "fresh" which meant right out of the oven. A day later would be fine! We miss you tremendously and always will. But, you are celebrating your day with the Lord, my Dad, your parents and siblings. I bet you are having a grand old time telling stories and laughing. Keep watching out for us. Love you, Alexis.

Wow! 91 years sounds like a fabulous birth anniversary to me! I think about you often and will probably continue to do so. There is something extra awesome about a birthday being on a Friday so I am very excited to see what today holds. Thank you for living in my heart! There are not too many residents so that should definitely make you smile!

Auntie,
I can never forget my beloved Aunt who was always was very compassionate, attentive, and loving to our family. Your generous spirit, faith, and abundant love will live forever in my heart.  You were more than an Aunt to me.   I miss you so much!!!  Julia

I cannot believe it's been five years since you went home to be with the Lord, your parents (Julia and Cleveland Dennis) , your siblings, and other relatives. You are having a grand time I am sure, but we miss you here. Keep praying and looking out for us. We love you! Alexis, your loving daughter

I'm not sure where time goes, but I bet if I asked you today you would know. You would always tell me that Grandmas know things and the older I get I see it now. I try to celebrate your legacy everyday because I know you deserve constant celebration just like me! I love you!

Happy 90th Birthday in Heaven Dear! If you were here on earth, we would have planned something spectacular and definitely over the top! I will leave flowers for you today in recognition of how great you were as a Mother. Robert stills speaks about you regularly. I try to live up to your standards everyday, imparting the wisdom you passed to me, to the family. Love and miss you, Alexis

I will always remember the love and compassion you had for our family
Your numerous acts of kindness will remain with me forever. Miss you much!!!

Happy Heavenly Birthday, Grandma!
I miss you "Dearly" and think about you and Papa daily!
Love Jauan

Grandma,

I cannot believe it has been 3 years! I miss you very much. You were one of a kind just like me and I hope that I can be a fraction of the woman you were. I'm thinking I have a good chance at least by the association to greatness. Be sweet as you always use to say!

Dear,

I think about you everyday. Yes, I miss you, it's true. Happy Heaven Born Day. Say hello to Baby for me and the rest of the family. If I had a rose for how many times I think of you, heaven would be full.

Dear,

Happy Birthday in Heaven! Robert and I miss you dearly. A day does not go by that we don't call your name. You will always be in our memory.

Dear,

I miss you already. Who knew that I would long to hear simple words as "I need three bananas" . You will always be remembered as a mother who taught me values, morals, and how to be kind and show love to people. Your daughter forever, Alexis
